Transformative Power of Reading: Five Key Changes in My Life
Written on
Chapter 1: My Journey into Reading
Several years ago, I found myself with a desire to develop my own game. At that time, this aspiration was just a vague notion without a clear direction. I was unsure of how to create videos or games, feeling lost and uninformed. It was then that I made the decision to start reading books.
Reading was a new experience for me, and I struggled to grasp each word. To make this journey manageable, I devised a plan that involved selecting a book that was both engaging and relatively short—around 100 pages. This choice aimed to foster a sense of accomplishment. I promised myself that if I could finish this book, I would continue on my reading journey.
Despite my efforts, turning the pages was challenging. It took me several days to complete that first book, but the joy of achievement was indescribable. Encouraged, I quickly moved on to a second book, which was equally thin and captivating. I finished it as well.
As I progressed, I completed three books, then more than ten, and my reading speed began to exceed my expectations. Each time I crossed the threshold of ten books, my horizons expanded, and I continually revised my goals. The books I read guided me on what to explore next, and I embraced all genres.
With time, the thickness of the books I purchased increased. I dedicated more time to reading, gradually nurturing a sense of accomplishment. Now, I feel a constant urge to read, even if only briefly.
This practice has significantly broadened my thinking. I began to gather ideas and weave them together, leading to innovative concepts. Content creation no longer feels like a struggle; instead, I am now confident in my ability to merge diverse materials.
Work-related problems that once overwhelmed me now seem manageable. I have also successfully undertaken large-scale content projects without difficulty.
Section 1.1: Five Transformations from Continuous Reading
My approach to challenges has evolved. Previously, when faced with an issue, I would feel frustrated. Now, I find problems intriguing and seek solutions from different angles, believing there’s always a resolution to be found.
I’ve developed a knack for organizing information mentally. Connecting different pieces of knowledge has become simpler, akin to knitting. Where I once struggled to recall text-based information, it now feels much easier.
My vocabulary has expanded. Friends often remark on how I've changed. When I inquire about their observations, they note the diversity in my language. This shift has made my narratives, which were once dull, much more engaging. They cite my ability to provide varied examples and communicate concisely as key improvements.
Subsection 1.1.1: The Joy of Writing
I have started to write more frequently. With a surge of thoughts and ideas, I felt compelled to organize them. The more I read, the more I wrote, compiling my reflections and adding stories to enrich them. This process has transformed into valuable content for others.
Additionally, my patience has grown considerably. My ability to concentrate for extended periods has improved, akin to training for a marathon. I can now dive deep into a single topic without losing interest.
Section 1.2: Encouraging Others to Read
Recently, friends have been curious about my creative processes, asking how I generate diverse ideas. I consistently recommend reading books as a source of inspiration. While not everyone is receptive to this suggestion, a few acquaintances who have taken up reading express gratitude for the positive changes it has brought to their lives.
These days, we enjoy discussing the books we've read and the lessons we've learned, sharing topics that might pique each other's interest. If you find yourself uncertain about what to do next, I highly encourage you to spend some time with a book.
Thank you for taking the time to read my reflections.
